Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Aroldis Chapman is making waves with a recent social media post. Apparently, a video shared on Chapman’s verified Instagram account features the MLB player in an intimate moment with an older woman sitting on a couch.
The footage captures Aroldis Chapman reclining on the woman’s shoulder, involved in physical contact as he rubs her mid-section and gropes her breasts. Initially, the woman reacts by pushing his hand away from her chest, leading to a brief exchange in Spanish between them, with a third person behind the camera.

According to Cuban baseball reporter Alfre Alvarez, engaging in playful physical interactions with one’s mother and grandmother is considered normal in Cuba.
Alvarez further said that what Chapman did might be perceived as a significant matter in the U.S., but in Cuban culture, it is customary to engage in such light-hearted physical gestures, including grabbing a mother’s breasts or slapping her buttocks. He clarified that these actions are not intended in a sexual manner and are generally viewed as harmless within the Cuban cultural context.
